AMD Phenom II X4 940 Review

Testing:

Specview10 is a benchmark designed to test OpenGL performance. I will be using the multi-threaded tests to measure the performance when run in this mode. The tests used for comparison are listed below. The default multi-threaded tests were chosen to be able to compare across platforms. In these tests, higher scores equate to better performance.

PcMark Vantage is used to measure complete system performance. We will be running a series of tests to gauge performance of each individual board to see which board, if any, rises above the others.

In Specview the Phenom II matched and even beat out the Q9450 in most of the runs. In PCMark the Phenom II could not keep up with the increased speeds with the i7's next generation hardware, but beat out the Intel Q9450 and knocked on the heels of the Intel Quad Extreme QX9770.
